This is an alternate cover edition for B01EQS8YIG
Beckett Pierce is the most eligible bachelor in the nosiest small town in upstate New York. But after his last girlfriend handcuffed herself to his porch and set his welcome mat on fire, he's not looking for any more romance.
Even if it lands right in his backyard, and has miles of red hair.
Gianna Decker has her hands full--no, overflowing--with problems. With two kids, a useless ex, and a brand new yoga studio, the last thing on her mind is finding a man who'll cause her more problems.
Dating her broody landlord? Yeah, that would be a problem. Dating the sexy mayor of the town she just moved to? Definitely a problem. Dating the “favorite” son of her father's new lady friend? It seems like Beckett is a bad idea just waiting to happen.
But he's a bad idea she can’t seem to resist.
As Beckett and Gianna find themselves thrown together again and again, they can't help but fall into the temptation of sizzling stolen kisses, of a desire so hot it brands. And soon they're much, much closer than they ever wanted. Tempers flair when their families complicate things and the interfering citizens of Blue Moon Bend step in with their special brand of chaos.
Can Beckett and Gianna manage to disentangle themselves before it’s too late?
Or is the temptation too much for either of them to deny?

Another good one 😊
Liked this book a lot.
Despite some stubbornness and sometimes silly behaviour
the hero was a generously good man.
It's actually the main reason I enjoy this author's books - she writes human heroes, (not those alpha-holes they sell us in most romance books), but decent guys with flaws, who are not scared to show their vulnerability. Yes, I like my book heroes real. I don't get off on assholes, who barks orders, make women beg and f*ck around.
I know I'm in minority, but I'm very comfortable here 😉.
Jokes aside (or not 😉),
Bennett was, IMO, a very decent and great man. He cared for his family, he was the one, who supported his parents when his dad was ill. A very good son.
I understood why he was alert about his mother's new bf and I didn't judge him for his tantrums.
Ok, he went a bit OTT with his groveling at the end by bringing the whole town in debates 😆, but it's a perk of a small town life I guess.
I loved the heroine. A very good mother. Loved how she cared for her kids and especially that she wasn't OTT gentle with them. The conflict with her ex (and her ex per se) was a bit silly. But why not?
I shelved her as strong. *statement*
I was so happy to meet the MCs from the previous book. So happy for them 💞
The side characters are the reason I'm gonna read the next book, despite I can't stand the hero - the only asshole in this series. Maybe I get lucky and goat Clementine would bite his dick off? *dreaming out loud*

I want to live in Blue MoonI'm absolutely loving that authors like
Lucy Score are bringing a touch of reality to characters by making them
need to exercise and eat healthy (most of the time) to maintain their hot bodies. For a wee while there, the main characters were alcohol guzzling, pizza eating, workaholics who lived on four hours of sleep a night. It always seemed effortless for these heroines and their boobs were always perky, legs lusciously long and skin perfectly clear. I wish it was effortless...
Sure, I'm always up for an escape from reality, but with age, I'm realising that I'm picky where I want to focus that escape from reality. Give me characters that are realistic in their everyday lives...BUT...give me a hero that's comfortable sharing the mushy gushy words. I'm a sucker for mushy gushy words. Unfortunately, while I love my hubby, getting mushy-gushy words is like pulling teeth. Sure, I get *I love you* regularly but I would love my hubby to make one of those big gesture declarations like they do in some of my favourite romance reads.
Which bring me to why I enjoyed
Fall into Temptation...
Lucy Score has treated me to another story with realistic characters, faults and all, with heroes that bring out the big guns when it comes to their declarations of love. I was left extremely satisfied with my trip back to
Blue Moon and I'm very keen to visit again soon.
The new yoga instructor also happens to be Beckett's new tenant and the daughter of his mom's new boyfriend. Beckett is struggling with his attraction to the sexy and very limber woman with fiery red hair. She's not at all his usual type but after the last woman he dated, he has come to realise that maybe it's time to change things up a little. Beckett soon realises that things are about to change a lot in his world when he can't seem to get Gia off his mind. Those kids of hers are making it even harder to resist the temptation of his Red.
Gia doesn't have time for a relationship with the sexy Mayor. Between setting up her new business, settling her kids into a new area and balancing the everyday problems a mother usually faces, she can't risk dropping one of her balls. She can't deny the attraction, though. The more time they spend together, the more her heart is at risk. For a while they attempt to keep things platonic... then after that fails they attempt to keep thing strictly sexual... then after that fails they attempt to keep things private... Things are definitely about to change in Gia, Even and Aurora's (her kids) world.
I love the town of Blue Moon and all its occupants. Their quirky matchmaking team are hilarious and I loved that they maintain a very high level of success. I really wish this town was real because I would love to visit.
If you're looking for a new series to devour and love a sexy romance with realistic ups and downs, I highly recommend giving the
Blue Moon series a try.

Opposites attract in the second book in Lucy Score’s Blue Book series, Fall Into Temptation. Mayor and attorney Beckett Pierce find his new tenant, Gianna Decker (Gia), alluring despite the fact she’s a single mom of two and a yoga instructor of all things. I love that this author writes flawed characters, that makes them so relatable and while I sometimes get frustrated with them, it’s also why I love them.
First off, kids in romances…in this day and age this is a realistic plot with the divorce rate as high as it is. In the case of this book, the kids add so much to this story. Evan is the son of Gia’s ex-husband, but he lives with her. A pre-teen with the wisdom of someone much older, he is hard to resist and his advice to anyone who will listen is always spot on. Aurora (Rora or Roar) is a precocious 5 year old who plays hard, lives loud, and loves fiercely and she gloms on to “Bucket” the minute she meets him.
Beckett is a man who loves is family and feels compelled to serve the community in which he was raised. He is a good man, but his resistance to his mother dating again was a bit over the top. Gia is strong and capable and works hard to provide for her two children and to be a present parent, something their father has never really been. The attraction between Beckett and Gia is obvious from the start and while it does take them awhile to finally get together when they do it is hot. However, it is the building of a relationship and the “family” feel to what they have with her kids that really made this story enjoyable.
Fall Into Temptation was fun, charming, a bit frustrating at times, but overall a very enjoyable book.

Welcome to the world of crazy... I didn't read the first book, I decided to skip it because it sounded... Hmmm, anyway, I picked this one up because there were kids involved.. I'm a sucker for books where either one of the MCs have kids.
The outstanding characters in this story were Gianna, Evan and Roar. Gianna moved to Blue Moon for a brighter future for herself + kids. She was physically and mentally strong, funny and focused on what she wanted. The author did a great job writing about Gianna's divorce, how she and her ex were still friends(there were no ex husband hating sessions whatsoever) and I kinda liked her ex husband too..
The kids were super awesome!! Read this book, hope you'll love it too.

2.75 rounded to 3 stars.
I enjoyed the writing, the dual povs, the humour and the overall low level of drama quite a bit. However, the push and pull between the MCs lasted too long and was very annoying. Plus the resolution at the end was a little too sappy for me. Overall, I enjoyed revisiting the small town of Blue Moon. This was a fun and easy read, which would have been even more fun if we didn't have to suffer through the "should I or shouldn't I" of the MCs for half the book.
What I liked:
1) A story about two adults who were regular people.
2) Seeing characters from the first book.
3) Very little ow/om drama, or other kinds of drama for that matter.
4) The fun small town antics.
5) The H was a good guy, although he could also be a total idiot. He wasn't a manwhore and was a responsible and kind person.
6) The h was a strong character. She didn't dissolve into a hormonal puddle around the H and knew her own worth.
What I didn't like:
1) The push and pull lasted way too long.
2) The H was a real idiot sometimes.
3) The ending was a little rushed and too sappy for me.

4 Stars Very Good
This was a very good, low on angst, slightly "cheesy" romance story. I LOVED everyone in the story but for me it lacked a bit of "excitement" if that makes sense.
If you want an all out easy, sweet, and yes, sexy story then give this book a go:)
Rating: really liked it
4-4.5 stars! I adored this!! It was funny, witty, filled with family wholesome-ness, and sexy! My very small complaint just has to do with the unnecessary miscommunication problem the last few chapters. Though, the redemption at the very end was adorable. Still, Beckett and Gia were great, as were the kiddies. (: I also love the town and the other characters. Can't wait for Jax and Joey's story!

Cute story with a fair amount of sweetness and stubbornness rounding out in true love. I particularly loved the kids. Sweet, fun ending. And of course, seeing the whole Blue Moon community and the banter between the brothers really makes this series.

5 Stars!Sooooo good! Love this author's sense of humor.

I don't do sweet - sweet is boring and unrealistic, normally. Yet this story definitely falls into the sweet category and I absolutely loved it. Well written, engaging plot, a lot of humour, brilliant characters - and just to make it a little bit more perfect, it's on KU.
It's fair to say that I'm about to go stalk the author's biography now

3.5 stars
Another nice one even though the hero had such bad moments of stupidity, his inability to see his mom move on and cast the heroine's father in bad light. And then casting his issues on the heroine was a WTF moment? I think the heroine took him back too easily when he basically tried to push her towards her ex without knowing a thing about why her marriage broke apart .
h starts renting from the hero, she is starting a new business and starting over with her two kids

I LOVED this story and I've seriously fallen in love with this town and the series. Blue Moon is so full of quirky, down-to-earth characters that it makes you want to be there. Toss in hunky heros and plenty of humor, and I'm all set.
